Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of an investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers
in such workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of articles
or supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have
contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 27, 2020 on behalf of workers of Celeros Flow
Technology, including on-site leased workers from Advantage
Technical Resourcing, including workers whose wages were
reported through SPX FLOW US, LLC, McKean, Pennsylvania (Celeros
Flow Technology). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of control valves and desuperheaters.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Celeros Flow Technology have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of article(s) like
or directly competitive with the article(s) produced by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Celeros Flow Technology.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Celeros Flow
Technology, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of control valves and desuperheaters, meet the worker
group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Celeros Flow Technology, including on-site
leased workers from Advantage Technical Resourcing,
including workers whose wages were reported through SPX
FLOW US, LLC, McKean, Pennsylvania, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 26,
2019 through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 6th day of November 2020.
